Sea Kayak Tours

Enjoy one of the most popular paddles around the Comox Harbour and the scenic waters surrounding Goose Spit; home to seals, bald eagles, and blue herons. Check out the historic Royston ghost ships and the intertidal marine life of the Courtenay River. Day trips to Tree Island, Denman and Chrome Islands for the more adventurous are also available.

Diving Excursions

Don’t mind getting wet? The waters surrounding the Comox Valley are some of the clearest cold water diving in the world; dive boat wrecks including the Capilano (1915), Vivian Island Sponge Wall and some of the most colourful waters in the Pacific.

Boat Tours & Charters

From Sunset & Scenic Tours around the Comox Harbour or up the Courtenay River Estuary, to Deep Water Oyster Farm Tours in Baynes Sound. Private boat charters are also offered including 40-minute cruises to Tree Island, where passengers can go ashore and explore this uninhabited sand island.

Marine Tours

The Comox Valley and the Pacific Northwest offers some of the world’s most stunning scenery. Zodiac and Covered Boat tours will provide a fun family experience highlighting Baynes Sound and the Vivian Island Bird Sanctuary where you can view marine birds, seals, sea lions, porpoises and maybe even orca whales which frequent the area.

Fishing & Boating

The summer means salmon on Vancouver Island and fishing charters feature knowledgeable captains and expert guides to get you to beautiful, prime fishing hot-spots. Charters include bait, fishing gear, fish bags and will clean and fillet the fish as you like it. For visitors with their own water crafts, make way for Comox Harbour, Courtenay Airpark, Union Bay, Kitty Coleman and Saratoga Beach for ocean boat launch access points. Comox Lake in Cumberland offers excellent fresh water boating and swimming with boat launch access.
